Seed Saving Class Aug. 27 in Globe

Saving seeds from your vegetables and flowers is easy, fun, saves you money, and leads to plants that are better-adapted, optimal for the Globe-Miami, or Gila County,  climate. Learn how to collect and safely store seeds Aug. 27 during a free one-hour class Gila County Master Gardener volunteers will host at Cobre Valley Center for the Arts in  Globe from 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. “In this class you will learn the  reasons why you should save seeds, what types of seeds are recommended for saving, how to ensure healthy, true-to-type saved seeds, and how to store and share your seeds,” said University of Arizona Gila County Cooperative Extension Agent Christopher Jones. “There’s no cost to participate! And seed donations will be accepted, and greatly appreciated for the Globe Community Seed Library.”  Questions? Call Mr. Jones at (928) 402-8586, or email  ckjones@email.arizona.edu
